In the wide and varied domain of real estate law, involvement by a notary is generally legally mandated.

This includes in particular property/housing contracts, developer contracts and land transfer contracts to the next generation with comprehensive legal reservations (e.g. usufructuary rights and rights of revocation, among others) for the transferring party as well as all associated land charges. Notarial services are also indispensable for matters where matrimonial property law and inheritance law intersect. For example, this can be land transfers within a marriage or civil union, divorce agreements for amicable division of property and other assets or a dispute among a community of heirs about property that is part of the inheritance.
